Diploma of Laboratory Technology

This practical, hands-on course is designed to give you the skills you need to seek work in a Laboratory environment, and is also ideal if you have a strong scientific background, are a university graduate seeking practical laboratory training, or if you are an existing laboratory worker looking to either gain a formal qualification for the work you already do, or have already undertaken some units and are now seeking to complete an entire qualification.

You’ll also get the opportunity to develop your practical skills through both the simulated laboratory environment at TasTAFE and industry work placement/s where you can gain vocational experience as well as build your networks within the laboratory industry.

On successful completion of this course, you will have the practical skills and knowledge you need to be employed as a Laboratory Technical Officer in a wide range of manufacturing industries including food, mineral or paper production or in service industries such as medical, government, research and school laboratories.
